UPDATE TIME FOR THOSE THAT CARE:

Got bored with my seats....Okay i lied. I like the stock 510 seats, But they were ripped up and had layers of peeling duct tape coming off. and Duct tape residue on your pants isn't the new thing...YET.
so i took them out.


And the new seat!


The dog approves


Then i spent a few minutes cleaning up some wiring for my cd player. and making the engine ay somewhat cleaner...I'll revisit that later.

Before:


After:



While in the engine bay i came to the conclusion that my coolant over flow was pointless. It overflows and then just sits there.


The new one.



And then i re routed my cd player. so you can see it. ( i **** modern stereos and vintage cars)
and now i just use my phone and aux in cord. (aux in cord comes out about 3 ft)


Brown bear Car wash had there free car wash day.

and the OG 13 inch wheels with raised white letters all cleaned up.


and then got bored.

Gotta love 13s with white letters have them on my Golf


Sweet wagon, only ever seen one wagon over here in Aus, people go crazy for 1600s here! (What we call a 510). Half decent stock ones go for ~$5k! Keen to see where this goes

I feel like 13's with white letters give it that Original look... I'm really not a fan of painted on lettering or fake white walls.

And man do i wish i was in Australia so many rare parts for a 510. and you guys are a lot closer to Japan,

Unfortunately I white-lettered mine with a paint pen, still some old school tyres though :P

Australia sucks for parts man haha, our import laws are stupid even though there's more Jap stuff here than the US. New Zealand gets all the good stuff haha

digging the wagon, really want an older wagon like that.

[lunalink]

looks like this is gonna be good!

Plans were to buy blocks this summer and drop it about 4 inches....frame is 6 inches from the ground...I would get as close as i could to 6 inches eventually.

unfortunately they are building a house next door. and i ran over debris and popped both my passenger tires. so that cost $50 and is pushing my lowering project back.


and went on vacation to the coast of Washington. I love my state.

Good looking build man, keep it up!

[Z33_Taxi]

Amazing wagon. I **** the look of modern stereos in older cars too,but it's going to be a necessary evil in my wagon.

[M.Doban]

Looks like you're doing a nice job so far. And you've got some good cars for inspiration. Keep it up!


p.s. I like your current wheels

[shakotanwagon]

Thanks for the nice comments guys! it really helps motivate me. I just bought a gift for my wagon.. Just have to wait for it to come.

i like my music don't get me wrong. i just found a way to hide it. all i use it for is to hook my phone so all that is needed is an aux in cord. i cant wait to find a factory datsun Am radio. ill re wire it so it has an aux in input. and then my dash would look perfect.

Nice dude. It's cool to see weird shit on hoods other then matte black or plastidip.
